The best camera stores in Washington
12 shortlisted from 21 reviewed businesses in Washington — camera stores, film labs and repair shops, each labelled for what it actually is.
How this ranking works
- Score = rating × log₁₀(review count). A 5.0 from nine people does not outrank a 4.7 from nine hundred, but one huge shop can't bury everyone either.
- 25 reviews minimum. Below that a rating is noise.
- One entry per chain. Multi-location retailers get a single slot, so the list stays a list of businesses rather than of branches.
- Museums and attractions are excluded — this is a directory of places you can actually walk into and buy, develop, rent or repair.
- Nothing is paid. No business can buy a position here, and quotes are pulled verbatim from public customer reviews.

#5 Speedy One Hour Photo

I just bought my Celestron Evolution 8 telescope at this store a few weeks ago, and the staff were very helpful, and took the time to explain the in and outs of this wonderful telescope. Even though I…
